Your Mental Sorbet: Soap - Chuck, Bob, Jodie and the Refrigerator

Here
is another "Mental
Sorbet" that we could
use to momentarily forget about those things that leave a bad taste in our
mouths.

Jay Johnson is best known for his role on the television show Soap.
He played Chuck Campbell, a ventriloquist who believed his puppet Bob
was real and demanded everyone treat Bob as human. Chuck never went
anywhere (even on dates) without his dummy Bob, who basically said all
the things that Chuck was too polite (or repressed) to say.
